This iTEC Learning Activity involves pupils gathering and collating data outside of the classroom; the data is then presented as a series of scientific observations, or as a multimedia presentation. Collecting data outside of school provides pupils with a novel change of scene from the everyday classroom environment, while also teaching them how to record scientific data in a methodical manner. The Learning Activity also serves to illustrate to the pupils the difference between empirical data, gathered in the field, and information learned from a textbook.
